Re: imap doesn't like my passwd
So happy I found this discussion.
I spent a day on figuring out an issue with login into IMAP.
It turned out that the { character in my password was the problem. Grrr...
The strange thing that I could successfully configure my IMAP connection my
Outlook client. Only when I try to connect programmatically by using an
ImapClient component (I tried several), then it fails by throwing that BAD
invalid characters message.
So I wonder how I can make the login succeed WITHOUT changing my
password

Maybe the former version did not checked the atoms 100% RFC conform. Where is the definition that passwords have to be atomic? And if it is there, it should be changed. Nothing anywhere at anytime should care about the contents of a password once it passes basic “not password of monkey” complexity checks. -- You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

Does your password contain the quote? If not, enclose the password in
. Or try the literal form:
1 login user {##}
password
where ## is the number of octets of password
The secure password used to work but it was a different architecture (x86_64
I think).
The current architecture is armhf.
architecture of the server or client?
Maybe you need to re-create the password store?

Re: imap doesn't like my passwd
It is not architecture related, my phone uses the same account and it used to work. It is either IMAP or Dovecot. On 04/09/2015 12:35 AM, James wrote: I spent days on this problem.
